While not all questions on this page may be asked frequently, we will try to keep our FAQ updated with any answers to questions we receive which may prove helpful to other readers or members.
To ask a quick question, we would encourage you to contact the Guild using "FAQ" as the subject line.
Please keep in mind, this page may contain answers to questions you have yet to ask, or may contain information you may not want to learn before reading our volumes for yourself.
Does the fountain on the homepage actually exist?
It does! The Passageway in Omaha is a place people can visit. However, they have since installed a gate due to some curious visitors chanting near its rear wall.
How can I contact you?
You may contact the Explorer's guild by emailing us directly on the contact page. Opening a phone book and shouting our name, however, is no longer a viable option for getting in touch with us.
Does the Explorer's Guild have any events or meetings?
Not yet, but the goal of the Guild is to share the truth with like-minded people and bring them together so they can make a difference in our future. In time, as the Guild grows, we would very much like to make that a reality.
Are you able to share the location of Jack and Jill's house so we can do our own investigation, or maybe have a Guild event?
We do know the location, but I have spoken to the current land owner, and at least for the time being, they would like the actual address kept secret.
How would people survive so long ago without oxygen?
They most likely existed as we do now. Modern science assumes we are looking at a complete geological record. However, we have uncovered evidence that, multiple times in the distant past, there have been large Magical catastrophes, quite literally vanishing entire layers of the planet.
How do you pronounce the Droth'gon'ai names?
I believe they should be pronounced: Zor-thray-vuh-zerious, Yuh-ven-sule-zah-von, and Zay-eht-all-die-ren-eth, but that's going off of Laurence; I haven't experienced them first-hand.
Why does Wenton wear glasses?
I assume you're referring to Wenton in our present time. I would venture an educated guess and say that his glasses were necessary due to healing Magic restrictions, forcing him to refrain from attempting to correct his own failing eyes.
Objects of Power are made using pieces of a bunch of people's souls, right? Do they lose part of themselves, or can they like, feel the object?
I believe when you give up a part of your soul to create an Object, you can equate it to something like giving blood. You're gifting it to something else entirely. No one seems to believe they are getting permanently weaker during the process, though. However, the few times an Object has been created using a person's WHOLE soul, it has been met with far more trepidation!
Why does Mor'dresh appear able to cut through things like metal, but is stopped at other times by softer stuff, like Jack's floor.
Mor'dresh, without doubt, has the ability to cut through, or even pass through, anything it wants. It simply stops when it does because it desires to, in order to achieve the effect it intends.
What is Laurence's middle name?
We don't actually know, but at the Society, we say the P stands for "Pain in the ass."
